Hello!!
Here in Chile we have a discussion about the oil grade that should be used in the Yamaha Supertenere.
The owners and shop manual specify SAE Viscosity 10-W40 API SG Jaso MA.
Some owners believes that 10-W50 is better, based in a catalogue that shows a figure (attached) with a range of temperature and viscosities recommended. This is what creates the confusion.
One Yamaha shop is selling and using 10-W50. In the pas
t they were using 10-W4
0.
Temperature in the central part of Chile ranges in winter 0-20 ºC (32 - 60ºF) and in summer 15-35ºC (59 - 95ºF).
I will appreciate if somebody can enlighten me with technical arguments instead "I have used .... for years without problems.
Also will appreciate a mail where I can contact a Yamaha Official tecnical representative.
